I'm a Bachelor and Bachelorette fan, but the recent news is way more real than reality TV. Yesterday I learned that Season 14 star Gia Allemand passed away at the young age of 29. According to a statement released on behalf of her family, the cause of death was apparently suicide. Gia had been dating New Orleans Pelicans basketball player Ryan Anderson.

Former Bachelor Sean Lowe tweeted:
My prayers go out to @GiaAllemand's family during this time. Life on earth is but a vapor and she's with our Lord now.

Another former Bachelor and star of season 14, Jake Pavelka, tweeted:
I had to pull over, I can't stop crying. We have lost an angel.

I am in complete shock and devastated to hear the news about Gia. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known.

Her own last tweet just a few days ago spoke volumes of her faith. So sad.
